Waiting

So...waiting for final election results. BN lost its 2/3 majority so they can't screw around with the Constitution any more. w00t!

Also, waiting for somebody to go...last week my aunty wrote an email saying that it looked like my father's mother was about to pass away (mum's mother went in December). Since then, the family members have been visiting her, making preparations, et cetera.

I just got an email with what's essentially the brief minutes of a family meeting wherein is outlined the plans for her funeral. It seems very odd to me...there haven't been many deaths in the family in my lifetime, so I always think of funerals as events hastily organized, under emergency circumstances.

I'm young and I feel, to use a cliche, immortal... It seems weird to think that death can appproach so slowly you can see it from a long way off.
